Samuel Phillips Eady practiced as a commercial physician in London at 38 Dean Street, Soho. He advertised a remedy for ‘those who are unhappily afflicted with diseases of the generative system’. In a caricature 'The Commercial Dandy and His Sleeping Partners' by George Cruikshank he is represented as physician to Mrs (‘Mother’) Wood, a brothel owner. There are comments on him in 'Annals of Quackery', The Medical Adviser, 1823–1824.
